Summer Playlists: The best hip-hop to come out of Philadelphia

Often overlooked in favor of other hip hop meccas Los Angeles and New York, Philadelphia mostly flies under the radar as a birthplace of great hip hop music. While the quantity of rap coming out of the city might not be on par with other metros, Philly quality certainly holds its own. From gangsta rap originators like Schoolly D to more modern heads like Meek Mill, the city has a solid hip hop history spanning over 30 years.

For your listening pleasure we present this summer playlist, featuring many of Philly’s best. And if you’re from the city, bump this shit loud and proud!
